Abstract

computer vision image processing image segmentation
Abstract In recent years, multi‐human parsing has become a focal point in research, yet prevailing methods often rely on intermediate stages and lacking pixel‐level analysis. Moreover, their high computational demands limit real‐world efficiency. To address these challenges and enable real‐time performance, low‐latency end‐to‐end network is proposed. This approach leverages vision transformer and convolutional neural network in a dual‐encoded network, featuring a lightweight Transformer‐based vision encoder) and a convolution encoder based on Darknet. This combination adeptly captures long‐range dependencies and spatial relationships. Incorporating a fuse block enables the seamless merging of features from the encoders. Residual connections in the decoder design amplify information flow. Experimental validation on crowd instance‐level human parsing and look into person datasets showcases the WNet's effectiveness, achieving high‐speed multi‐human parsing at 26.7 frames per second. Ablation studies further underscore WNet's capabilities, emphasizing its efficiency and accuracy in complex multi‐human parsing tasks.
